    Does the cold affect hydraulics?

    I left Asheville this morning after it got down to 25 at night. After I hit retract all on the levelers I didn't check (shame on me) to see if the jacks came up, but the coach went into drive no problem. I drove away and then later after stopping for propane discovered that the front jacks...

    JT Strongarm/Steadyfast on hydraulic 6 point autolevel

    The internet tells me that Lippert recommends against installing any stabilizing arms when using their 6 point Level-Up hydraulic level system (even though they sell adapters listed for exactly this purpose). Supposedly the stabilizers create a potential failure due to the jack legs not...
